Motion and Force
Speed, Velocity, Slope, Friction, and Distance
Force
• A push or pull that
causes an object
to move, stop, or
change direction
• A force will cause
an object with
mass to
accelerate.
Forces can affect motion in
several ways:
•
•
•
•
•
→ They can make objects start moving.
→ They can make objects move faster.
→ They can make objects move slower.
→ They can make objects stop moving.
→ They can make objects change
direction.
Distance
• Distance is the measurement from one
point to another.
• Distance may refer to a physical length, a
period of time, or an estimation.
Friction
• Friction is a force that acts against or stops
motion when two surfaces rub against each
other.
Speed
• Speed is a measure of the distance an object
moves in a given amount of time.
• During a typical trip to school, your car will
undergo a series of changes in its speed.
Acceleration & Deceleration
• Acceleration is an increase in speed.
• Deceleration is a decrease in speed.
Slope
• Slope is used to
describe the
steepness, incline,
or grade of a
straight line.
Gravity
• Gravity is the force that
pulls all objects in the
universe toward one
another.
• Gravity is the force which
pulls all objects to the
surface.

between objects that are touching?
Friction
What do we call the measure of an object’s
change in position during a unit of time?
Speed

Position
What do we call the force of attraction between
Earth and other objects?
Gravity
What do we call a change of position of an object?
Motion
What do we call the property of matter that keeps
an object at rest or keeps it moving in a straight
line?
Inertia
What do we call a force that acts between any two
objects and pulls them together?
Gravitation
What do we call a machine with few or no moving
parts that you apply just one force to?
Simple Machine

surface?
Inclined plane
What do we call a simple machine made of two
inclined planes placed back-to-back?
